PhD fellowship
The Immune Regulation group at the Deutsches Rheuma-Forschungszentrum, a Leibniz institute, is looking for a highly motivated PhD student interested in studying fundamental principles of immune regulation, and in developing this knowledge into new therapeutic strategies. The project will be to characterize the antigen-recognition properties of protective and pathogenic T cells in a rodent model of multiple sclerosis, and to develop novel adoptive cellular therapies against this disease. Other research interests in the laboratory relate to the fields of B cell biology, anti-microbial immunity, gene therapy, vaccine design, and adoptive T cell therapy to cancer.
